Ongoing programming at the Phoenix Shambhala Center

We offer regular weekly meditation sittings and Heart of Recovery (Sarpashana), as well as other online and hybrid programming. Please read on for more information about our various offerings.

Weekly Sittings

Our Sunday Sittings are offered in a hybrid format. There will be limited seating for in-person attendees at the Center or you may join online. We do ask in-person attendees to wear masks during sitting.

To join our weekly meetings online via Zoom, please use the following links:

Sunday Public Sitting 9:30 – 11:00 am
Heart of Recovery (Sarpashana) Tuesdays 7:00 – 8:00 pm (Heart of Recovery is online only)

We’re sorry to announce that due to low attendance and staffing shortages, we have temporarily cancelled our Wednesday evening sitting.

Public sittings, Sarpashana, and meditation instruction are always free. Donations are gratefully accepted. To make an online donation with PayPal, please visit our Donate page.

Meditation Instruction

We are also offering meditation instruction by request. Please contact us at [email protected] and we’ll respond within 24 hours to set you up with a meditation instructor. We can offer instruction via Zoom or in person at Sunday sitting; please see the safety guidelines above if you wish to visit in person.

Ongoing Book Study Groups

Monday Night Book Study (Ocean of Dharma)

This study group meets via Zoom every other Monday at 7 pm. We will read together Tulku Thondup’s book Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth. If you are interested in joining the group, please notify Chris Noble-Power via text/phone call (602) 696-9694 and she will provide you the Zoom link. (We will resume meeting in person at a participant’s home at some point in the future.)

It is helpful but not necessary to buy the book. We will likely have an electronic copy to share via Zoom. If you wish to purchase your own copy, it is available at retail vendors or online at Shambhala Publications.

Sunday Book Study

This study group meets on Sundays after Public Sitting, starting at 11:30 am (except where there is a conflicting event). Starting in July 2022, we will be reading Chogyam Trungpa’s book The Sanity We Are Born With. For those joining on Zoom, you may use the same Zoom link as for Public Sitting. Please see the safety guidelines above if you wish to attend in person at the Phoenix Shambhala Center.
